the teacher ticks speedily, his mind
already dashing to the end
in which he would pen
encouraging words

alas,
the ball of student logic
suddenly veers off,
down
down
down
the drain of irrelevance

the ten pins mock the teacher,
like they feel confident about
remaining defiant to
ensuing balls of logic

How true of this from a student brain. Very good.

. . . and I enjoyed the path that the teacher's creative logic took!

LOL. thanks for reading. my students are rather amused with my (lame?) analogies these days since i randomly sprout one with nary a thought in order to illustrate certain points. i hope to think of this as the coming of age.
